To Be Thankful

by Barbara Sammons

Gallery: Macro & Close-upPosted November 25, 201070 views6 comments
Here is my Thanksgiving wish to all. Be it winter, summer, spring or fall, there is beauty in nature at any time of the year. This indian corn just reminded me of all the things I'm thankful for, family, friends and to be able to do the one thing I love the most, and that's to take my camera and just get out there and shoot ... if for no other reason but to enjoy mother nature. I was visiting a small town the other day and this basket of indian corn was sitting at a shop's front door. So, you just never know where mother nature will be.

Camera is a Nikon D70, macro lens, handheld.

Comments and critiques always appreciated. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Hi Barbara :wavey: A steady hand, and a good eye make for a very successful capture of indian corn. The color and detail are stunning.

Thanks to everyone for your comments. Thanksgiving was very peaceful with family. Then came Black Friday, but just stayed home and ordered some new software. I'm giving HDR a try. We'll see what happens. Thanks again for viewing this image. It's one of my favorites.
